Free Colorblindness Test

We recently discovered my co-worker, an adult male, was colorblind (funny for us, not for him)….

Doctors today are still using the Ishihara Color Blindness Test that consists of 38 circles that are patterned with dots. In the center of each circle, the color of the dots are shaded various colors to display a hidden number. If the person being tested fails to find the numbers in the circles then he or she would be considered as someone with a form of colorblindness.

While a large number of doctors use the test, only one has legit “treatment”. Dr. Thomas Azman has created the Color Correction System, which finds the missing wavelength of light to design color correct lenses for those who suffer from colorblindness, giving them the ability to see colors and pass the Ishihara Colorblind test! People travel from all over the world to receive Dr. Azman’s treatment and are always thrilled with the results.

Treatment is available from Dr. Thomas Azman of Azman Eye Care. Check out their website for a free color vision deficiency test.

Rich and Jeff’s Pub Crawl

St. Patrick’s Day Bar Crawl in Charlotte

According to Rich Saner, one of the founders of Rich and Jeff’s Pub Crawl, the 12th annual event scheduled to kick off on St. Paddy’s Day in Charlotte, North Carolina, is expected to be “the greatest day-drinking experience of your life.” This event began in 2001 with 73 crawlers who were friends and college classmates of long-time friends and college roommates Rich Saner and Jeff Bennett.

With a crowd expected to exceed 10,000 crawlers, this years event originates from Dixie’s Tavern on East 7th Street.

The 2011 crowd was just 13 crawlers short of 9,000. The original goal was to cover seven bars in seven hours. This year the group plans to visit approximately 20 bars within easy walking distance of one to another. This year’s ultimate goal is to maintain the crawl’s status as the largest pub crawl in the world. The crawl was featured on Travel Channel’s Extreme Wild Parties segment in 2009.

Thirty to forty volunteers are scheduled to man two registration locations in Charlotte as well as online. Crawlers are given a list of participating bars and a suggested time to arrive at each one to partake of the specialty-of-the-house beverage at each location. The registration ticket includes a tee-shirt, a koozie and all entry cover fees. Online registration at rockhouse.ticketssoeasy.com is just a mouse-click away.

Proceeds from the crawl will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Sponsors for the crawl are Tallamore Dew Irish Whiskey, Skyy Vodka and Bud Light. For the past several years, Bud Light has been producing special green aluminum cans to be shipped to the Charlotte area in time for the event. Free transportation to the kickoff location is available between 6pm and 9pm from anywhere within a 5-mile radius. Zingo Taxi Service will also offer a discount rate for their safe ride home program.
